Abstract

An absorbent article comprises a chassis defining front and rear waist regions, an absorbent panel laid on the inner surface of the chassis and a decorative element adapted to be seen through the chassis and interposed between an intermediate zone of the chassis and the absorbent panel. An optical transmittance exhibited by the intermediate zone of the chassis in which the decorative element is laid is higher than an optical transmittance exhibited by opposite lateral zones of the chassis.
